1. Easy Spider Eyes Makeup Tutorial

Tutorial By: Tina Halada

If you suffer from arachnophobia, this look may not be for you. If you are someone who shrugs off spiders, this may be perfect for a last minute costume idea. You can simply pair this Halloween look with a black top and pants for a complete spider costume. Tina does an amazing job with this tutorial, I hate spiders and even I want to try this!

Creepy, crawly, and cute!

Ruby Rose isn’t the only bat girl! You, too, can be the queen of bats with eye make up fit for the caped crusader, herself. This is another style that can be matched with a simple costume for a low key, high impact Halloween look. Nikki does some of the best tutorials on YouTube and she doesn’t disappoint with this one.

The best thing about pop art/comic book makeup is that it is relatively easy to do and, like all of our Halloween looks, can be the focus of your costume. Pair this unique makeup look with a bright blue or black wig and a vintage dress. This look also looks very cool on men, here is a link to a male version of this look.

At 33, I’ve been a cat for Halloween approximately 13 times. The great thing about a cat costume, is the simplicity. Every store that sells Halloween costumes has a cat ear/tail set. All you need after that is kitty appropriate clothing and this killer makeup look.

Marvelous, memorable, meow!
